The latest addition to the Smith arsenal, I/O ski goggles feature a sleek, rimless design with intuitive interchangeable lens technology.

  • Full interchangeability with the flip of a switch allows quick and easy lens changing for optimal performance in all conditions
  • Carbonic-X™ lens is individually molded to offer optimum scratch resistance, increased visual acuity and enhanced contrast sensitivity
  • Smith Spherical series lenses allow a wide field of vision and increased volume to maximize airflow and reduce fogging
  • Tapered Lens Technology (TLT) straightens refracted light rays by tapering the lens from optical center toward the periphery
  • TLT provides distortion-free vision for the most accurate interpretation of the terrain that lies ahead
  • Pre-installed Ignitor Mirror lens enhances contrast and depth perception in all conditions; allows 35% visible light transmission (VLT)
  • Sensor Mirror lens (included) maximizes color definition and increases depth perception in varying levels of flat-light conditions; 70% VLT
  • Robotically cut lenses bonded together with an airtight silcone bead eliminate lens delamination, the number one cause of between-the-lens fogging
  • Porex™ microporous filter attached to the lens increases fog resistance by allowing air molecules to pass through while blocking water molecules
  • Medium-fit frame accommodates a mid-size face, and fits comfortably under a helmet
  • QuickFit™ strap adjustment system secures the fit whether wearing a helmet or hat
  • Compatible with a wide variety of helmets
  • Includes a microfiber storage bag with replacement lens sleeve

Made in USA.

      Comments about Smith I/O Ski Goggles:

      They fog on the inside and they fog in between the lenses where you can't wipe it away. Before returning mine I talked to a couple shops an it seems that there are problems with the 09-10 model.

      Comments about Smith I/O Ski Goggles:

      Can't really say enough about these goggles, they surprised me in every way. Optics are Rx quality (sharp without any distortions edge to edge). No issues with fogging and I was even able to rock the Ignitor lens in severely overcast conditions without issue. I would like to see a polarized lens for them though. The Smith I/O replaced my Zeal Eclipse goggles for which I as very excited about buying. The Zeals were a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT(read other review) and wouldn't even compare them in all honesty to the Smith I/O. The I/O's simple do what a goggle is supposed to do.... protect your eyes, improve visibilty in all conditions (full on sun to low light), and most of all, let you forget your wearing goggles at all.

        Comments about Smith I/O Ski Goggles:

        Great goggles! I love the versatility that comes with changing lenses as the light changes. I have the 09/10 model and I've never experienced any issues with fogging, but I make sure to bring them inside every night so they can dry. I've heard if you don't allow them to dry properly between uses fogging can become an issue. My only complaint is they might be a little too ventilated... at ultrahigh straightline speeds they let in a little much airflow. They fit well with my Gyro helmet. They definately have a large lens, so if you have a small face you may want to go with the I/OS.

          Comments about Smith I/O Ski Goggles:

          I purchased last years model which looks exactly the same except for the pattern and colors. I wouldn't buy another goggle, they fit snug, are lightweight, and have a very large viewing area. Some goggles cut down on your view, not as much with the I/O. The lenses take a little getting used to when trading them out but are fairly simple. I loved that I didn't HAVE to buy another lens, it came with a light and a dark. As soon as it becomes overcast, I'll pop my Ignitor lens out and throw in the clear or sensor lens and avoid catching edges for the rest of the day. I have yet to scratch a lens and I'm not the most delicate person.

            I've hear too that they fog up.. I haven't had the problem... they look great, fit well... I tend to wear glasses most of the time and only wear these in the "weather"... I would buy/recommend again..
